brought my 10 week old male yorkie (Bartley) home last friday and have been trying to "pottie pad train him"..The 1st couple days i was kind of low keyed, letting him get used to his surroundings before crate training..

I would just watch him and put him on the pad when he made potty gestures..sometimes hit, sometimes miss..

on day 3, i started crate training..I would keep him in the crate for about 2.5 hrs and then take him out and put him on the pad..He would sit and sit but no pee..He would wander off and make pee gestures..back on the matt but still no pee..etc, etc, etc..He would finally wander off and pee on the carpet with about half a second warning..back on the pad, he would do nothing..

Over the next 2 days it seemed like he wanted to pee everywhere EXCEPT on the pad..In fact he even peed in his crate several times..

Ocasionally, he pees a little on his pad but mostly waits me out and pees on the carpet..

Ive tried smearing scent from his carpet pee onto his pad, etc..

Strange thing is, he seems to poop on or near the pad (most of the time).
but will never pee on the pad (even when placed on it again and again..

I have a large crate for him while im at work with his bed and dishes at one end and pads at the other..He pees everywhere except on the pads.

HHEEEEEELLPP..
